Chapter Eighty-Seven: Dispel Doubts
At more than 7 o'clock in the morning, Wuyang and his party rushed to the Federal Jewelry and Jade Trading Center, and after verifying the entrance, they saw dozens of stone cutters of all sizes lined up, and there were people operating next to each machine. Five of their 16 pieces of wool have been cut off, leaving only the numbered side.
The level of the stone cutter here is very high, basically there is no cutting of the jade meat, and a ball emerges very abruptly in some places, which inevitably hurts, but basically does not affect the value of the jadeite. Although most of the places are still white-flowered stones, it can already be seen that there are jadeites in them.
Boss Qiu opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth wide, with an incredible expression. Then the boss couldn't stop laughing. Wuyang didn't want to entangle with them, so he told Mao Xiaoshan that all the green jadeite was sold, leaving only other colors, and hurried away.
Originally, I decided to cut stone and sell jadeite yesterday, thinking that I had a mine and had to make myself famous, but then I thought that if that was the case, then this public market would not be easy to do, and someone would follow me wherever I went. As long as the jadeite is cut out, people with a heart will always inquire. Push Mao Xiaoshan to the forefront, and there will be nothing to do.
I went back to the place I hadn't seen yesterday. With his current ability, he could have read it quickly, but while watching, he had to record the number and mark the price, which was much slower. But now there is no one else in the venue, and the speed is much faster. By the time Mao Xiaoshan found him with a boxed lunch, he had basically finished reading it.
The two chatted while eating, and Mao Xiaoshan told him: "Now Boss Qiu and a few of them are rubbing stones, and they each cut a piece of wool." There is jadeite in it. Just now when I was leaving. A few of them regretted it. Chairman Qin and Director Zhou's wool were also cut out and sold, and when I brought them a boxed lunch just now, they all asked for a few more wool pieces today. ”
Wuyang smiled: "What's wrong with this, I'll give it to them later." Brother Mao, how much did our jadeite sell for? ”
Mao Xiaoshan said: "14 pieces of jadeite, an average of more than 3 million euros, a total of 45 million. Xiao Li, I think it's a pity to sell it here. If it is shipped back to China, the price will more than double. ”
"It's not a pity, it's just fun. Brother Mao, there is an office of the Bank of China here, I will go to get a card for you and Camp Chief Tan in the afternoon and deposit 5 million euros, this is my decision, there is no room for negotiation. The card is opened in my name, and you can just take it back and use it. Another thing I would like to discuss with you is, don't you have soldiers who are discharged from the army every year? Past and future retired soldiers, you help find some volunteers to send to your brother. We need a lot of talent in our mines, and so do the companies in my hometown. ”
"Okay, I can just use your money to settle their families, this matter shouldn't be a big problem." Mao Xiaoshan said.
"Brother Mao, it's not right for you to say that, the money I gave you is for you to start a family, and the money for the placement of the brothers is something else. I just saw that there seems to be a piece of jadeite of different colors, is it true? ”
"There is a purple one and a yellow one, I will stay and prepare for the organizing committee to help ship it to your home." Mao Xiaoshan said.
"Brother Mao, you also know that I have already bought back so much wool, and I will have a mine in the future, so I am not interested in bidding to buy wool, but I want to buy a few pieces of wool of other colors to go back. Mingbiao counts that today will be 5 days, and I may go back after I finish it, can you please stay and help me bid for the wool I want? ”
"This is definitely no problem, my task is to ensure your safety until the end of the market. From today onwards, will you cut out the wool you cast and sell it or consign it back? Mao Xiaoshan's question didn't get a clear answer just now, so he asked again.
"Actually, this seems to be a chicken rib, spend money to buy it, it's so expensive, don't buy it, after all, you can make money. It's still all cut out, and the consignment is back. Wuyang finally made a decision.
After eating, Wuyang divided the remaining 10,000 pieces of wool into 5 times according to the number, and each time divided into 10 paragraphs, and wrote them one by one. At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Boss Qiu and the others all came over, and Wuyang quietly stuffed a piece of paper for everyone and went to the bidding hall.
At half past five o'clock, everyone went out to get on the bus, and the person in charge of the organizing committee chased him out and found Mao Xiaoshan, hoping that he would continue to cut stones tomorrow morning. Mao Xiaoshan said: "Let's cut the stone, but the jadeite we cut out is no longer auctioned, but please ship the jadeite to China." ”
The person in charge was happy when he heard it, talked to Mao Xiaoshan in Burmese, and asked Wuyang to sign the power of attorney. On the way there, Mao Xiaoshan translated: "The person in charge just said: In view of our performance today, the organizing committee has decided that in the next ten years, both of us will be invited by the federal government to participate in the public auction. If you have excellent performance in the future, you may enjoy lifelong benefits. Lian Qiu boss and a few of them, it was originally an invitation letter issued by the jade trading company, and it will also be issued by the federal government next year. ”
When Wuyang heard this, he was also very happy in his heart, although he went to work in the future, he would not definitely not be able to come, if he could establish contact with the government of the Union of Myanmar in the future, maybe he would fly a helicopter by himself like Boss Chen. By the way, it is better to build villas near the border, repair helipads, and it is best to buy transport helicopters like the US military, as long as you have a good relationship with the officials on both sides, it can be used to transport jadeite. Besides, Boss Qiu doesn't know how to choose wool himself, and he can't help them.
happily signed the power of attorney and rushed to Yangon. In the car, several people talked about today's harvest again. The boss only voted 18 yuan today, and Boss Qiu and the five of them all hit today. "Boss Xiaoli, I only spent less than 10 million today, how can I buy this 1 billion euros full."
Wuyang thought to himself, all the votes are not a good thing, tomorrow's competition will be more intense, the boss of the district has a total of more than 30 pieces of jade wool with relatively high water species, one person voted 18 pieces, not satisfied, it is really not enough people to swallow the elephant. Boss Huang, a boss who has been in the jade business for more than 20 years, only brought 50 million euros. It's even easier to buy a full stock. Arrived at the dark mark area. own according to domestic prices. Fill in the form for your quotation, isn't it all fully bought?
Of course, these words can't be said, Wuyang himself won 13 yuan today, Mao Xiaoshan won 12 yuan, President Qin and Director Zhou both won 20 yuan, Wuyang felt that it was enough. Besides, he learned a lesson today, and one of the wool materials he fancy is particularly bad in appearance, and it is basically the kind that no one cares about. But the jadeite inside is a glass species, he first bid at the list price, 5 minutes after the most, there is no bottom in his heart, so he added 20,000 euros, and someone immediately followed up, and the wool was bought by others at 9 times 180,000 euros higher than the reserve price of 20,000 yuan. If you don't move, you may be pocketed for 20,000 euros.
Back at the hotel, Boss Qiu said that he wanted to go out to eat Burmese flavor food, and several people washed their faces. With Xiao Zhen out of the Lu went to eat. Come to a short distance from the federal government office and eat in a quaint courtyard house. I eat traditional Chinese food.
Xiao Zhen said: "Myanmar used to be a vassal country of China, and it was greatly influenced by China. It was only after the occupation by Western colonizers in the late nineteenth century that changed. ”
A few people ate the Chinese food, which was generally much better than the hotel food, and the price was not expensive, 12 people, and drank alcohol, only spent 210 US dollars.
Before going out to get into the car, a young monk in a robe came over to make a fortune, Wuyang walked in front, and he couldn't understand what he said, so he took out a 100 yuan dollar and gave it to him. The monk clasped his hands together and said a bunch of words.
Mao Xiaoshan said: "The monk said that the Buddha will bless you with many blessings and longevity." ”
After getting on the bus, Xiao Zhen told that in Yangon, there are many monks who turn into a relationship, and people generally only give 10 kyats each time, which is equivalent to 1 yuan. Your $100 may allow the monk to complete his tasks for half a year.
Wuyang asked: "Xiao Zhen, have you ever been a monk, I heard that everyone in Myanmar has to enter the temple." ”
"I didn't, I was not in good health since I was a child, and later my family paid for the temple, and I can be regarded as a monk." Xiao Zhen said.
Back at the hotel, when Xiao Zhen left, Wuyang sent the notes from No. 4001 to No. 12000 written separately to everyone, Teacher Cao said: "I haven't found anything in the past few days, Xiaoli, do you also give me a note?" ”
Wuyang smiled: "I have wanted to give it to you for a long time, but I am afraid that you will not be willing to make a bid, and I am afraid that you will not be able to pull it off." I'll give you my own note tomorrow, and if you don't win 5, I won't give it to you the day after tomorrow. ”
Teacher Cao smiled: "Who wouldn't throw money?" You'll see me smash me harder than anyone else tomorrow. Everyone laughed.
A few people rested early, and got up early the next day, which made a few people bitter for the boss Qiu, who usually slept at home until they woke up naturally, and they could insist on getting up early for a day or two, but it would not work for a long time. Several people discussed, whether to let a car go first, Wuyang said that he was going to select wool, Brother Mao was going to cut stones, if Xiao Zhen was left to drive, the car would not be able to sit down.
When I came to the trading center, it was still more than 7 o'clock. Mao Xiaoshan went to cut stones, and Wuyang began to look at the wool in the dark mark area. Today's arrangement is like this: Boss Qiu and 6 of them, each with Wuyang for an hour, Wuyang fills in the wool number and price, and then hands it to the people behind, and the people who follow fill in their admission card number and the last few digits of their passports, and put them into the standard box. You also have to register the wool number in your own notebook, and everyone's workload is about the same. The others rested and prepared box lunches, and the boss immediately proposed that he be the first to follow Wuyang.
The normal situation is 1 to 4, that is, 10,000 pieces of clear wool, there are 40,000 pieces of dark wool. This is from Director Zhou. But what Wuyang sees now, the clear standard wool is 12,000 fast, and the dark standard wool is at least 100,000 pieces. No wonder people say that the competition is fierce, and fierce competition means that the price will rise, and the price will of course be more prepared.
The appearance of the wool here is much stronger than that of the marked area, with black epidermis, yellow-white, gray-white, and pine flowers, python patterns, and ringworm with obvious jadeite, which is simply beautiful.
Wuyang ran Zhenqi looked at more than ten pieces at a glance, there were 3 or 4 pieces of jadeite in them, and there were two pieces of high-end jadeite wool, so he asked the boss: "Do you ask to buy jadeite that can be cut out or must be high-grade jadeite?" ”
The boss said, "It doesn't matter, as long as there is money to be made, you can do it well." ”
Wuyang said, "That's good." But if I find the wool I want. You can't blame me. ”
"There's nothing to do, nothing to do. It's up to you, I won't bother you. ”
After walking for an hour, Wuyang took a fancy to the 12 pieces of wool he wanted, and provided the boss with more than 30 pieces of numbered prices, almost one piece a minute. The price offered to the boss was between 200,000 and 500,000, and only a few were below 200,000, and the 12 yuan he wanted deliberately raised the price. Because it is inevitable, there are 3 pieces of glass in it, according to previous experience, it should be imperial green, as well as sky blue, chanterelle yellow, rose red, chicken blood red, black and purple, for this kind of jadeite, Wuyang is determined to do whatever it takes, so the price is much higher.
The second hour was followed by Boss Ji, when Wuyang saw a piece of 800 kilograms of wool with about 200 kilograms of glass jadeite in it. Filling out a list of 1.2 million euros, Boss Ji said: "This is too high. I don't want to. "Return the order to Wuyang. Wuyang didn't say a word, just fill in his admission card number and put it into the standard box.
It was busy until half past one, everyone else left, and Wuyang began to rest. From 7 o'clock to now, the time to eat a boxed lunch and drink water in the middle is only 20 minutes. Wuyang has been running his true qi again, and he is somewhat tired. There's nothing to do with him this afternoon.
I saw 6,000 pieces of wool in 6 hours, less than one-tenth. Now Wuyang is not in a hurry to go back. First of all, you have to take care of 3 old people, now they don't go, they can't go, and secondly, they have to choose wool for the boss of Qiu, promise other people's things, can't give up halfway, originally thought that at most two days can be finished, now it seems that in addition to the remaining 3 days of bidding, it will take at least 3 days to go, and because they also fancy more than 30 pieces of wool, the water is very delicate. Wuyang estimates that his more than 30 pieces of wool can lead the trend of domestic high-grade jadeite for more than 10 years.
After counting the bidding price, it is already more than 20 million, and the average is more than 700,000. If there are still people who pay a high price, they will not fight with others, although there is still a lot of money brought, but there is no need to pay for it. Besides, there are a lot of jadeites in my home.
I had nothing to do, so I wandered around and ran into the person in charge who had just come out of the toilet. The two nodded and smiled, and Wuyang saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, so he asked him in English if he could speak English, and the other party immediately spoke.
He first thanked Mr. Li for his support for the public market, and said that in the past two days, someone has approached the organizing committee and proposed to buy jadeite. In order to enliven the atmosphere of the conference, attract more businessmen to participate in the public market in Myanmar later, and also to meet the demands of businessmen, I wanted Mr. Lai to support him.
Wuyang Zhilu said, tomorrow Mr. Cao will definitely cut out the wool to sell the jadeite, President Qin and Director Zhou do not bring much money, if you don't sell the jadeite, you can't maintain tomorrow's bidding, so he said: I didn't participate in the bidding today, there is no jade auction, but my teachers bid for wool, if they win, I can mobilize them to cut out the wool tomorrow and auction the jadeite.
The person in charge said: I am very grateful for Mr. Li's cooperative attitude, and we will definitely repay Mr. Li.
Wuyang said: It is you who provide everyone with the opportunity to make money, and I want to thank you, don't mention it in return.
I think Mr. Lai would definitely be interested in the return I proposed. When we organized this conference, we collected a large piece of wool, which is now in our warehouse, ready to invite 10 merchants to participate in the auction at the end of this auction. Mr. Lai, if you have time, you can come with me to have a look. It doesn't matter if you don't like it, but you have to ask Mr. Li to keep it a secret. Because the time will be attended by high-ranking officials of the federal government and high-ranking people from the Federal Jade Association, we don't want a lot of people to watch, but we can't drive people away.
"Okay, please lead the way."
Under the guidance of the person in charge, I walked for 7 or 8 minutes and came to a tall house. The house has no windows and a tall door opens every 10 meters or so, which are now locked. A few dozen meters away stood a soldier with a loaded gun. The soldier saluted the person in charge. The person in charge said something to him, and the soldier took out his mobile phone to make a call.
The person in charge smiled at Wuyang, the keys to these warehouses are all in the guards of the warehouse, and their commander will be there soon. Now the wool in these warehouses has been moved out, and there is a big wool in the warehouse.
Soon a commander ran over, Wuyang didn't know the military rank of Burma, and he couldn't figure it out without an introduction. The chief opened the door and turned on the lights in the warehouse.
This is a piece of wool mounted on the top of the flatbed, the front of the flatbed is facing inward, it is directly driven in through the gate, and now the whole car is supported by various jacks and other things. The warehouse has a lot of space, and if the flatbed truck wants to go out, you just need to turn and go to the gate next to it.
The bottom of the large wool is flat, just placed on the flat car, other directions are very non-standardized, the cylinder is not a cylinder, the cone is not a cone, the square, the rectangle is even more not, anyway, the bottom is large, the top is small, of course, the reverse is not stable.
The person in charge said: the bottom of this wool is 2.3 meters long, 1.8 meters wide, 3 meters at the highest point, and the total weight is about 35 tons. Since the jadeite was exposed in any direction, the mine owner did not decompose it again. According to expert analysis, it may be a whole piece of jadeite, you see, these protruding must be jadeite, as for the inside, there is no way to know the way. Mr. Li, take your time, I'll wait for you outside.
After the person in charge went out, Wuyang ran really angry: My obedient ...... (To be continued......)
PS: Today's three more are presented, please see the officials and friends for the sake of the hard work of the code word, more rewards, more recommendations. I want to ask for a few commuter passes.
